点评:From our accommodation we took taxi to Columbus Circle, from where we took subway Line 1 and after two stops we changed to Line 2 to the station West Farm and from there we walked about 10 minutes to the ZOO. We bought tickets online a day before and for two seniors it was 86 dollars. We came about 10 minutes after the ZOO opened at 10 am, we left when it closed at 5 pm and we didn't see everything! As it was during weekday the ZOO was not particulaly busy as it would be during weekend. We did watch TV program about the ZOO for years and this visit was on the top of our list during this trip. We spoke in Mouse house with the keeper for a while and it was amazing as he showed us the giant rat who is helping to find land mines but also tuberculosis. We literally could spend two days or more there just watching the animals.
翻译:我们从住处打车到哥伦布圆环,然后搭乘地铁1号线,两站后换乘2号线到西农场站,从那里步行大约10分钟就到了动物园。我们提前一天在网上买了票,两位老年人一共花了86美元。动物园早上10点开门,我们大约10分钟后到达,下午5点闭馆时离开,结果还有很多东西没看完!因为是工作日,动物园不像周末那么拥挤。我们多年来一直看关于动物园的电视节目,这次旅行的重头戏就是去动物园。我们在老鼠馆和饲养员聊了一会儿,他给我们展示了那只不仅能帮助我们寻找地雷,还能帮助我们预防结核病的巨型老鼠,真是太棒了。我们真想在那里待上两天甚至更久,就为了看看这些动物。
